AMD gets burned by Intel in every single performance run, seriously won't recommend it.

And that PSU, is GOOD, it's OCZ, brand is a not a random, it's a professional brand.

Well I have it on my laptop, since i can get a discount on that motherboard it won't bother me to much. Since I have college/books and stuff, this is a serious budget computer. I'm not to worried about a couple of seconds shaved off for an extra 30$?

Oh I really don't know a lot about PSU's.

Let's say i Bought everything from what you said, would i just be able to conect it up with no technical problems? i know what goes where but i don't know how to connect things up with the cables(properly anyway), i guess i could just guess but i would probaly end up melting it.

I can get an XP disc with no problem.

Let them do that in the shop for a few extra bucks

I know a person who does that. They'll build them for you for like 60$? Maybe 50$. Depends on where you're at and who you know.

Read the internet and try.

I like OCZ and all, but I've had two OCZ power supply units die in my systems with basically nothing connected to them. I brought out my old Enermax PSU that is like five years old and popped it in and it worked without a hitch. The only reason I switched to OCZ is because their PSUs tend to run much more quietly than Enermax PSUs. The Enermax ones sound like jet engines sometimes (even if you clean them out).

Delta fans are louder than anything.

Love Souljah · 07-04-2008, 01:03 PM

No I'm talking about the fans that come in the PSU.
Delta fans ARE loud, though.

I don't really care about noise, seeing as I'll have headphones on. And even if they're loud, I really don't care too much. Something you just get used to

The Core 2 Duo architecture "owns" AMD's current.
Get Ati Radeon 4850 instead of 8800GT.
720W is overkill. 600-650W is enough. Your choice ofc.

When you buy a PSU buy from a good brand like OCZ or Corsair.

*Note* Mist has been proved to be using bad, low-quality parts and will be a lot worse after 6 months.

Oh I know that intel is way better than AMD. I got a deal on the motherboard and I'm already ordering it ><. If I could afford it I'd get an SLI mobo, I'm not too worried about it. It's a first build computer. Doesn't have to be too spectacular, and to top that. It's a budget build. The less I spend, the happier I am.

Yeah the 4850 Pwns the 8800 GT. but 40-50$ difference...

Well, it IS a good build nevertheless and it will run most games very good. I'm not 100% sure it will run Crysis at high, but it may do it okay in decent resolutions.

Seta · 07-06-2008, 05:17 PM

Nah there was a price cut the 4850 is same price as the 8800 gt now, since they came out with a 4870 which is a lot better but its about 30 bucks more, still worth it imo, far cry from the price of the 9800 now. And um Amd's don't lose in every performance run wtf are you talking about? Intel use to lose in all the performance runs, the new architecture for intel is the only real difference, imo amd's are still faster the only thing they have different is the Intel cpu's and mobos are built to withstand heat without fans making it last longer and not get as hot. If you know how to take care of your computer then AMD's are better due to being what $250 cheaper. If you cant take care of your **** then sure go get an intel lmfao.
